1. IVF versus adoption: Which is best one?
http://www.delhi-ivf.com
For couples who want children but can't conceive naturally, this is a personal crisis and its every hard to
deal with it.
Of course there is no one right answer. Adoption and in vitro fertilization both carry financial, medical,
and family dynamic risks.
With Hollywood luminaries like Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie going the
adoption route, and other late-in-life parents risking medical intervention to see their own genes
replicate in a biological birth, the debate continues about what is best for the individual, our culture, and
the planet.
Let's start with economics. The average cost of in vitro is nearly $3,000 per cycle and adoption costs
anywhere from $5,000 to $40,000. Also many cycles of in vitro are often required to create a pregnancy
that goes full term. The success rate is to 20-30 percent for women aged 38-40, and if you opt it early it
may have better chances and for women over forty, it is as low as 5-10 percent. Then there are the
medical complications that can rack up more costs. Laparoscopy used to extract eggs carries risks
related to the anesthesia. Then there are risks of infection, bleeding, damage to the bowel, bladder, or a
blood vessel. Surgery to repair damage can also be costly.
And then there are the emotional factor, risks and rewards. Some people believe that there is no greater
joy and meaning in life than to watch one's own genes blend with a loved one’s and prosper. Others
think -- a parent is the person who raises a child, not the one who throws genetic material their way.
Indeed, recent studies on non-biological caregivers and adoptive parents point to hormonal changes in
the adult that occur through the acts of bonding and nurturing. And with steady rates of one in five
women over the age of forty being childless, a case can be made that nature's intention was for a village
of caregivers to nurture any given child.
Then there are Legal Issues. If you are NRI and adopting a child, the process itself takes around 2 year
and lot of Legal things.
Ivf is good if you plan this early and properly, and come with great satisfaction. It may cost you high but
worth spending. But if you already crossed 40, then adoption is good idea coz that helps you not to fight
with your health and low performance of IVF cycle.
Benefits of Adoptions
Adoption benefits everyone in the adoption triad. Many of these benefits are helpful to the birthmother
and birthfather. Other benefits are directed at the child who is being placed for adoption and/or the

involved.
Benefits of IVF
IVF (in vitro fertilization) is the most common form of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology). If the
fallopian tubes are damaged or the sperm is poor, it is obviously the only acceptable treatment. It is also
usually the most effective treatment for most other types of infertility as well. The eggs are fertilized in
our laboratory, and the resulting embryos then are placed into the uterus 2 to 5 days later. This
procedure achieves remarkable pregnancies even in women with hopelessly damaged fallopian tubes,
seemingly sterile husbands, and even “unexplained” infertility. Problems with the husband’s sperm are
never a serious issue, since we can fertilize the eggs with ICSI. In fact, in our program we routinely use
ICSI in all cases to guarantee against any risk of failed fertilization. Our IVF pregnancy rate is over 50%
per attempt, regardless of diagnosis, and we accept all of the most difficult cases.
